Underground/City Lights Film Series

This week is our spooky Halloween screening of puppet animations sure to entertain and frighten.

Friday, October 26th
7:00pm
Radio-TV 251

*************************************************
For the weekend before Halloween, we'll be presenting haunting, charming, sublime and grotesque animations from master Czech animator Jan Svankmajer, whose stop-motion work recalls surrealism, childhood, horror and comedy. In addition, we'll be screening several shorts by the Brothers Quay, who acknowledge a debt to Svankmajer, but who nonetheless have their own unique approach to doll-based animation that shares much in tone with Svankmajer's work while striking out in other directions.
*************************************************

The underground film series is sponsored by Indiana University's Department of Communication and Culture. All screenings are on alternating Fridays at 7 p.m. in room 251 of the Radio-TV building on the IU campus. All screenings are free and open to the public, and free parking is ample in the lot adjacent to the building, provided you clearly display an underground flyer on the dashboard of your vehicle.
